In addition to the death, Team Arrow could potential face some of its own shifts. With the crime-fighters already down one member—now that Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) left the team following her romantic split from Oliver (Stephen Amell)—“Laurel [Katie Cassidy] is faced with a opportunity for a huge promotion,” Guggenheim teases. “Also there’s obviously a couple of revelations in this episode.”

And the Diggle family is going through its own drama. Oliver’s worry that John’s (David Ramsey) brother, Andy (Eugene Byrd), might be hiding something from the team leads to friction between Oliver and John. Ultimately, the fallout will lead to a “seismic change” for one duo.

Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
